Software bundles often are a great way to grab at least a couple of great, deeply discounted apps and introduce us to new ones. This one from MacUpdate Bundle is very compelling with its inclusion of useful utility and productivity apps.

Lion-friendly virtualization app VMware Fusion 4 is one of the best deals here. It alone retails for $49.99, the price of this bundle. So buying the bundle is like getting VMware Fusion plus the other 10 apps for free.

Total retail price if bought separately is $378. Granted, you might not buy all of these apps, but for $50, the cost of each comes to about $4.54, and if you were going to buy VMware Fusion or, say, PDFpen anyway, the bundle would be worth it. The deal is good for the next 14 days.
